Maurice Lacroix Launches Limited Edition Aikon Urban Tribe Watch While fully engraved cases and bracelets have a long and illustrious history in watch customization, very few fully engraved designs have been made by watch brands themselves. Maurice Lacroix is ​​the latest brand to step into this bold visual space, partnering with renowned Parisian parkour expert Simon Noguiera to create a textured and sophisticated design for its cornerstone all-in-one bracelet design. The resulting limited edition Maurice Lacroix Aikon Urban Tribe gives the Aikon collection an even more vibrant street style, while packing impressive surface details.

The 42mm stainless steel case of the Maurice Lacroix Aikon Urban Tribe is by far the most striking element. Unlike the standard Aikon's mix of brushed and polished finishes, this stylish all-in-one bracelet is designed with an intricate laser-engraved tribal pattern on nearly every surface. Repeating zig-zag textures, concentric circles, stripes, etc., the intricately carved texture feels vibrant and dynamic in the image, reminiscent of the patterns found on traditional West African dashiki shirts. Even Aikon's signature bezel claws have been added, with deep vertical stripes on the top surface. With such an intricate and predominantly matte texture covering most of the case, polished sections, such as the sharply sloping bezel sides and case side chamfers, become important visual breaks in the image, preventing the angular silhouette of the watch from being in the pattern. lost. However, like the standard Aikon, the Aikon Urban Tribe offers a sapphire display case back and a solid 200-meter water resistance.

The Maurice Lacroix Aikon Urban Tribe's case is designed to pursue vibrant complexity, while its dial is chosen to be simple and clear. This is almost identical to the standard Aikon's black dial, save for the polished black 12 o'clock marker in the initial image. Aikon's signature Clous de Paris guilloche pattern remains here, giving the pencil pointer and the applied baton index a luxurious texture and a more dynamic personality with minimal combinations. However, as with the standard model, the use of a white date wheel at 3 o'clock creates a prominent visual hole on the dial in the image.
